“Safeguarding Trust means for the thousands of children using Church of Ireland premises for worship and other activities like Sunday Schools and Sunday Clubs that they are protected from all kinds of abuse, and that parishes are consciously promoting their general safety and welfare. Children’s ministry is only possible because of the commitment of adults who are prepared to work with children and who have been selected, appointed and trained in Safeguarding Trust to feel confident that they are adhering to good practices and that they are protected from unfounded allegations.
In the United Diocese of Dublin & Glendalough, Olive Good (Regulator for Safeguarding Trust) is responsible for the training of leaders and panel members. To arrange a training evening for leaders within your parish or for details of a training evening in your area, please contact Olive at ogoodcp1@yahoo.ie.
For general enquiries or for information regarding other dioceses please contact the Board of Education R.I. at boe@rcbdub.org.
